Harrison's quote . . .

No greater opportunity, responsibility, or obligation can fall to the lot of a human being than to become a physician.

In the care of the suffering, the physician needs technical skill, scientific knowledge, and human understanding. Tact, sympathy, and understanding are expected of the physician, for the patient is no mere collection of symptoms, signs, disordered functions, damaged organs, and disturbed emotions.

The patient is human, fearful, and hopeful, seeking relief, help, and reassurance.
